195/45/15 will be perfect for the 7.5" rim

I have just been reading all the other post's about  tyre profiles, ect ,ect
And the thing that pop's up the most is wheel offset..?The Ronal LS are ET25.
The car is being prept in the body shop for new paint and they will also fit the
new G60 arches and so on.I'm hopeing that i don't have to roll the car's arches
as well. :cry: :cry:..As it's not something i want to do to the car..

Just got an e-mail from the fellow in Germany a bit confused he is saying i
may have to roll the arches for these wheels to fit (ET25  15" ..7.5"). Has any
one got any proof that these will fit my 89 golf with out arch mod's :undecided:

if your car is running low, you may experience some scrubbing. mine is lowered 80mm + and suffers from tyre scrub.

Check out pics here:

We set the fronts too low when fitting my coilovers but still no rubbing on the arches with 195/45 profile.

Click on this link for what the car roughly looks like at the moment (no engine so front is slightly lower when the engine is actually in) and still no rubbing :smiley:
